Introduction to the visitor on my E-Portfolio

I am delighted that you have taken valuable time to read my E-portfolio based on an introduction about my journey of life, let me open the doors of my life with some Basic introduction:
My name is akshika arora prabhakar studying in choithram international located in central india (Indore).I am currently finishing my first year diploma course of IB DP .In this following year, I have been voted as the social chairperson in student council assembly .I adore writing reflected in my blog about social issues and stories. I have also taken active participation in many debates and dramatic plays representing the school.
My beliefs and my actions:
It is said “an individual is created by his beliefs” thus, there are also certain beliefs which rule my heart and shape me in my actions. I believe that life is full with options, however when choosing one becomes a difficult part, one should keep his mind strong and heart at peace .I have been implementing this belief in many of the actions in my today’s life and I have seen tremendous results. In both the professional and personal life, we are given options. However, it’s our choice on how to choose a right option which can change your whole life at one instance. The day I stepped out of the gates of my old school following CBSE pattern, I chose an option and it was to lead my thoughts and ideas into something innovative and creative for which I decided to join an IB school meeting all the requirements a child needs to nourish their mind into the highest platform. I didn’t know that single option can lead to better opportunities which I found in IB course lacking in CBSE. However, while some of my friends belief that it isn’t applicable while making emotional decisions, I would like to give an example regarding it. During a rough patch in the relationship between me and my friend,a third party backstabbed my friend saying wrong things behind her back,If my heart could have not been at peace ,I could have used wrong languages for them in anger but I handled the decision showing maturity and discussed with them about the issue politely and sophisticatedly .As a result, I finally came to know that the third party had a personal problem with my ex- best friend which made me solve the problem between them rather than leading to any harm by fighting.
Keeping up with the development in today’s global world:
Today every individual is engaged on some or the activity leading to development in the society, to meet the development and fast-growing competition among the generations ,I use following methods to keep up with the progress:
  • A track record of to do list where I store the moments of my success and the lessons I have learnt from my failure. I have also the detailed about my major goals and how can I reach them. I have also put the pictures of specific people who motivate me. Every morning, I go through the book of my to do list and it instigates me to start the beginning of a day with spirit for education and interest.
  • I have created a specific journal where anything can be stored easily:word processing,spreadsheet,documents etc. I have set certain task on the list as a reminder when window is opened.
  • The school doesn’t restrict us for using the beneficial equipment meeting today’s demand like: Laptop, GDC calculator etc.


TOK and it’s impact on my thinking skills:

As an IB student, we pupils concentrate on questioning the thoughts in which society revolves in.TOK carries a specific epistemological nature justified well in the course. While completing a year on Theory of knowledge in IB program, my friends and family have observed a drastic change in my behavior. While listening/watching any fact through media or friends, I have started questioning on the things I don’t know rather than getting careless about it. While questioning if a specific &clear reasoning is not given, I look for a guidance to clear the doubt. It has affected my thinking skills deeply, as now I have started analyzing the issue deeply and discussing more upon them. However, TOK has also left a negative impact on me as I have started contradicting myself on both the sides of the dice (wrong and right with reasoning).It restricts me to reach a specific conclusion as I find myself in the favor of both the dices.
